            this is true and I imagine that's how most anons on Ganker play the game, but installing an using an emulator is a surprisingly high barrier of entry to normalgays, plus you need a decent computer to emulate Switch games well (as in being able to run them at higher resolutions and framerates than the base Switch version)

            Being able to play Metroid Dread almost a full week before launch, in 1440p at 60 FPS is fricking great and more anons should experience that. I like the Switch but it frustrates me so much that all the games on it are held back so hard by the dogshit hardware.

        bayo and NG are good games overall, the former is mainly hampered by the fact its stuck on fisher price hardware that dosent attract the hardcore action crowd.
        the latter is stuck in the "not the TRUE version" hell, aslong as black and vanilla NG2 are stuck on the xbox there will always be a shadow over the series.
        plus its too hard in general, if NG came out today it would filter literally 90% of Ganker

              This is fine, and most 2D action games would be way too easy with something like that. The real problem is that the hitbox is weird and doesn't seem to align with the sprite; you have to aim your sword a little above the enemy which is maddening when it comes to midair combat.

                I would agree with all of this. I do think the Nintendo Bayos are still good, but 1 is still the best which is a shame since 1 still has a bunch of little stupid design choices and the least imaginative weapon lineup. NG Sigma was my first taste of NG so maybe it's a little biased but its changes from Black are more sidegrade than downgrade besides load times.

            That's my issue with Dante past DMC3 honestly. DMC3 Dante being quipping machine makes sense but the end of the game makes him a bit more serious and mature, more akin to his DMC1 self. DMC1 Dante is legit cool, Trish destroys his shop's door with a motorcycle and he says "Woah, slow down babe" as if it was nothing. DMC4 and 5 Dante are clowns because DMC3 Dante was so popular. Nero in 4 felt more like Dante to me than Dante himself because he was still serious in some parts.

      FFXVI has potential it just needs a KH style remix version.

        Unironically. XVI has the potential to be best selling J-Action game due to it's ease of control, even easier than Bayonetta. They just need to revamp it's skills a bit. It also needs more playable characters and coop imo.

          XVI actually needs:

          >switchable party members
          At the moment you have action combat on a JRPG, you will get compared with Tales Of. And Tales of have it. Of course, some characters are well thought out like the MC, while some party members you just use in order to spam one magic and switch back, but still, Tales of have it, and not having it is LAME.

          >higher difficulty at the start
          The game is too easy, so easy that it becomes BORING. In action games is the difficulty, the enemy design, that forces you doing more than mindlessly mashing the attack button till everything dies. Without this, 9 out of 10 people got out thinking the combat is boring.

          You can have your "journalist mode" where the game plays itself for you just for cookie points, but the average, regular difficulty shouldn't be so easy.

      Funnily enough I'm neither a DMC or NG fan (I only recently dip my toes on either franchise it) and I bought that collection as soon as it released on Steam.
      Haven't touched the other two games (or any other NG game to be honest) but I think the price was worth for Sigma 1 alone.

      To add insult to injury I'm a Soulslop addict.

                >use mods that add stuff like turbo
                I cant imagine playing without turbo at this point honestly so I'd def play modded. Funny enough the reason I decided to play the game today was because I wanted to see whether I should stick to 1.3 or go back to 1.2. Some things are easier to do with the former but 1.2 feels much smoother.

              Dante has a billion different attacks and SDT precisely to counteract this, while Nero has Exceed and V's Finishing Blow has infinite style gain. Not just that but sitting there and spamming the same attack is way worse than using attacks to move, juggle, stun enemies and so on, and a bunch of the shit is designed around specific enemies.

                3 absolutely focuses on efficiency.

                If you’re knowledgeable enough at DT stun you don’t have to worry about efficiency as much where as DMC1 turns into a slog if you just let all the enemies DT. Critical hits are pretty much exclusive to dmc1 after all outside of maybe the scissor enemies in 5

                DMC1 can be balanced around efficiency because the movepool for Dante is very small compared to later games so "puzzle combat" works.

                DMC5 would be an absolute mess with the same design philosophy due to the size of characters movesets. People even had trouble with Fury's despite their being a billion different ways to parry in DMC5, if every enemy was like that people would just quit immediately.

          Inertia and the guard fly bug are certainly part of the deal but you don't need to go that deep to see how this game has been watered down to be more appealing to newer people. the only thing the game has going for it in terms of technicality is the bloat. Dante needs way too much prep now with his 3 different Rebelions you need to choose from and Nero has like 4 charge buttons to keep track on.

                You don't need to choose between them you OCD moron, DSD is objectively the best. Sparda only has a few things better like a more powerful prop shredder and Rebellion is just straight up a worse Sparda in every way. They have no real use outside of technically counting as a different weapon so they build style seperately, but you have plenty of moves to hit SSS anyway.

                >You don't need to choose between them you OCD moron, DSD is objectively the best
                oh is that why people love to switch between them? combo videos utilizing different blades for different types of combo extensions? you're just going to ignore other options in a really complex combat mechanic just because something is higher on the tierlist than the others? i was joking about the nugay shit but apparently it's more real than i thought it would be. welcome to vidya. what's your favorite one so far?

                here is the thing nugay: i like this series. if a new installment comes out i actually put effort into it even if i don't like it. just for the fairness. and if you have options in the game you will consider all of them. they exist there is no reason to pretend one of them trivializes the other. on top you're the first moron i heard of who actually puts one of them above the other.
                and i just think it's tedious. it's unnecessary for a character who is already bloated to the extreme. some of that could have gone to Nero who doesn't have weapons to switch between them at all. or Vergil who is sharing the same fricking set of 3 weapons for the third time now. why are you morons so sensitive to some criticism? are you going to die when the game isn't regarded as an absolute masterpiece by every living person on earth?

      Bro, I don't think DMC was ever "hard". Most of the bosses in 3 you can beat first try if someone just whisper something in your ear

      >just jump on top of it and slash it
      >just mash the same button, and press the trickster dash when you see an attack incoming from one of them because it have zillion invulnerability frames

      Also, DMCV literally rehashes movements, it went as much as to keep the soul of the originals as it could without being more of the same. You homies are delusional.

      The only actual discussion here, is which one is better, 5 or 3 **while using the style switch mod**. Because 4 have amazing gameplay, but being forced to replay the literal same missions, but now with Dante was ASS.

        Mechanically it used to be a lot more demanding. 5 made jump-cancels way too easy by making the hitboxes way bigger. The game is also incredibly slow even for non-turbo standards. The demons act like a bunch of morons. Technical stuff (reversed lock-on, inertia) have been entirely removed. If that's not enough you can buy "retries" with red orbs in case you are a skilless gay. Nero has a shitty item management system in a FRICKING DEVIL MAY CRY GAME. V is at the very least baffling and that's the best thing anyone can ever say about him. But they have been included to give nugays and casuals a little bit of variety instead of being non-stop exposed to the DMC combat. It fricking sucks

        Are you a souls gay or some shit? Why the frick do you bring up bosses and only bosses when talking about difficulty in a genre thats mainly based around crowd control since fricking Final Fight?

          Because that's where difficulty lies

          You're talking about the game where you can just trow an regular enemy in the air and stay there beating him for several seconds, crowd control is easy. No game where you swing your sword once and it goes through as much enemies as it's hitbox can hit staggering and stopping their attack animations, is hard when dealing with numbers

          If anything, crowd control in souls game is harder. But still, not by a lot.

            Why does every argument about DMC's enemy design start and end with the earliest most basic enemies?

            Specially in DMC5 where like half the roster has clear anti-juggle countermeasures like teleporting or not being launchable?

            Like where are these games where your basic badguys are some impossible barrier to surpass. Because I've played Bayo, NG and all the Souls games and none of them are like that either.

        i said it's a smaller AA title in a niche franchise, certainly it can't be BG3

        in any case, it was nier automata
        and yes, i know it still gets praised a lot, but my point is simply that when a smaller AA game sells X amount, it's considered low even when it's actually big numbers exactly cause it's a smaller AA game, yet when a triple A game from a major company sells the exact same X amount, suddenly it's considered a success

          I've literally never heard anyone say Automata wasn't a success, but then again I don't really care for that game, but Kamiya has literally admitted that it being a surprise hit literally saved Platinum when Scalebound got cancelled, also its already gotten a bunch of follow-ups and spin-offs so its success is undeniable.

      It's a symptom of being terminally online, constant exposure to popular thing will inevitably lead to negative exposure simply due to it being popular. This creates a negative association in the mind where you associate popular thing with negative thing, and unpopular thing is not associated with negative thing due to lack of exposure.

      It's called contrarian brainrot and is very real.

      Style meter shouldn't be removed because it's a decent encouragement to play more stylishly.

      Stuff like Quad S for Dante is a dangerous path to go down though, it turns the style meter into just another resource to manage during gameplay, which defeats the point of the style meter.

        >Quad S is dangerous path to go down
        I don't see that. If anything it gives people incentive to actually do better so they can have access to these cool moves. It's not essential to the gameplay but rather an added bonus. Though it does start to matter in DMD which tbh by that point people should have a handle on the combat and all that. For a game that's all about the free flow of combat, giving players more toys isn't a bad thing. Same with bringer knuckle.

        Quad S's real benefit isn't in it giving you more moves or even it being particularly powerful but in presenting a counterweight to the rest of Dante's gameplay. As Dante you have to deal with all these choices and learn a bunch of separate abilities in order to play well. Quad S makes it so that once you can do that reliably you have access to something that just lets you kill shit as quick as possible.

        If it was required of you to use Quad S the game would very quickly turn frustrating and Dante's mechanics would feel like a contrivance. Compare SDT to how Pandora worked in DMC4, for example.

      I assume it's because the lack of Nero's snatch makes you feel like you're just running around like an idiot to get to the next enemy? Upgrade Dante's trickster, his teleport move his his primary way of moving around and how you close distance between enemies. You can easily play Dante with just Trickster.

        That's my issue with Dante past DMC3 honestly. DMC3 Dante being quipping machine makes sense but the end of the game makes him a bit more serious and mature, more akin to his DMC1 self. DMC1 Dante is legit cool, Trish destroys his shop's door with a motorcycle and he says "Woah, slow down babe" as if it was nothing. DMC4 and 5 Dante are clowns because DMC3 Dante was so popular. Nero in 4 felt more like Dante to me than Dante himself because he was still serious in some parts.

          DMC5 Dante is a jaded old frick who's shown being very "over it" throughout the game. The manga makes this even clearer. He doesnt really act like he does in 3 and 4 at all outside of the weapon introductions.

          I think part of the thing is that after 1, Dante had little to take seriously--he just killed the lord of all demons and had basically gotten over his family issues, and so there wasn't really any sort of threat or anything that could challenge or sober him up (probably why a new, less powerful protag was introduced). I don't really know how else I would have written him in a proper sequel.

        I think DMC4 is honestly even worse than DMC5 in this regard. Fortuna looks incredible but most of the castle is so fricking dull and overtly "video game level" with just halls that serve no function at all and the jungle is just straight up shit and it looked like fricking ASS back on the original consoles but that's thankfully something modern players don't have to experience.

        • 10 months ago

          I think a big problem with a lot of 4's environments outside of the very beginning of Fortuna is that they look very generic like they belong in some asset pack they bought online, very little personality and doesn't feel like DMC. 4 has some weird Final Fantasy anime-stylized semi-hyperrealistic aesthetic but really watered down.

        I wish the tree brought back the environments from mallet island, Temen-ni-gru, and fortuna like it replicated Dante's&Vergil's childhood house but corrupted/distorted in some way(does that sound too much like the reboot environment design?). I know there are some details like the purple curtain looking things outside of Urizen's throne and some weird floating geometry things but it just didn't stand out enough to me? I guess I wanted the tree to be more of a reflection of Vergil's mind.

          The top part of that concept art is from the game, it's the credits fight as Dante and Vergil when they go to hell. The middle concept art is from mission 09 as Nero. Bottom is from mission 10 as Dante. Don't know if the art to the middle left was in the game.

    Playing through it for the first time after having played FF16 and liking the combat I thought I'd give DMCV a try as I've got played these games before.
    I can definitely see DMCV in a lot of the moves in ff16 but what was the impression of V when this game released/ had a lot of threads made about the game?
    I really like playing as Dante, just got up to his sections but I'm falling asleep when I'm forced to play as V, I'll pick Nero over V as I want to be the guy hitting things not sick back and watch the crow and panther kill everything for me.

      Not many players really like V, he feels half baked and unresponsive.
      A shame because a caster playstyle could work, it just needs more direct control. It almost feels like Itsuno realized this later in development and included the autopilot function for the familiars. V should've had a small cane moveset too.

        The version of the game I bought said on the cover it comes with Vergill, I can play through the game as him so I'm interested to see how that plays when I get there.

      V in my experience is "over-hated, but not under-rated", his gameplay style is pretty novel but his moveset is a bit half-baked and there's parts of it like directly controlling Nightmare that are outright less efficient than just letting the summons do their own thing

      V himself being helpless isn't great in the context of an action game and I think at least one "push away" option bound to his cane button would have been good, though I do also love the detail that the move V does when there's nothing directly in front of him for a finisher is the first hit of the Yamato combo for Vergil

      Extremely kino movement ruined slightly by the fact that I'm really not a big fan of Nero's DT hair at all.

    Pretty crazy. I don't think any other video game song has had the pull these two songs have.

    haven't played and dmc game since 3 on ps2, recommend me the order, which I assume it's release order except for 2, and other games like bayonetta and vanquish

      Play DMC1 first because you'll have an appreciation for it, and not be spoiled by DMC3. Then go 3-4-5. You don't need to play 2 it's pretty dogshit. If you replay DMC3 do it with the style switcher+weapon switch mod.

    Am I the only one who only likes DMC3 in this franchise? I really wanted to like the fifth game, but the characters are so embarrassingly written. DMC3 knows its moronic and has fun with it, also the combat is better.

    Do any of the serial shitposters in action game threads get tired of doing the same shit every thread? I'd rather enjoy this genre in solitude than deal with the massive baggage of dealing with other fans online

      Nope. Everytime I shitposted it's like I posted for the first time again.
